Today we discuss psychological safety and the impact that is has on a construction death and the fact that in ten years the amount of construction deaths have not changed.

People in the construction world are not seen, heard or understood and because of that they fail to bring up the things that keep them safe.

When workers don't feel safe to report a safety problem, that they did or didn't cause you are creating an environment where safety issues can escalate very quickly.

When you give a shit about the people doing the work, they will perform better and do things properly; so that we can all go home safe.

Create Psychological safety, so that every issue on your jobsite can be easily communicated.

What do you do when your child wants to give up something they love? How do you support them when their mental health is struggling but they can’t explain why?

In this heartfelt episode of the People First Podcast, Jonathan sits down with Nancy to talk about parenting through uncertainty, emotional burnout in young athletes, and how to actually support our kids’ mental health—not just talk about it.

From real stories to uncomfortable truths, this episode explores:
– The signs your child might not be okay (even if they seem “fine”)
– Why passion and pressure can look the same from the outside
– How to talk to your kids without fixing or dismissing what they feel
– What parents need to unlearn to better support the next generation

Whether you're raising athletes, creatives, or anything in between, this conversation will help you lead with presence, empathy, and clarity.

🎧 Tune in. It might just change the way you talk to your kids.
